How to Make Keto Air Fryer Avocado Baked Egg

Step 1: Preheat Your Air Fryer

Begin by preheating your air fryer to 390°F (200°C). This step is important as it ensures even cooking and helps achieve that perfect texture of the baked egg.

Step 2: Prepare the Avocado

Cut your avocado in half and carefully remove the seed. Use a spoon to scoop out a bit more flesh from the center—this creates enough room for the egg while preserving that creamy goodness.

Step 3: Season it Right

Sprinkle some salt and pepper inside each avocado half. This simple seasoning enhances the flavor of both the avocado and the egg, bringing everything together beautifully.

Step 4: Crack in the Eggs

Gently crack an egg into each avocado half, taking care not to spill any overboard. This step is crucial—the creamy avocado pairs perfectly with the rich egg yolk!

Step 5: Air Fry Until Perfect

Place your stuffed avocados in the air fryer basket and cook for about 10-15 minutes. The exact timing will depend on how runny you like your yolks. Keep an eye on them; they’ll be ready when they’re set but still slightly jiggly if you like them soft.
